We'll see, it looks quite promising and is nearly done.

In the meantime i figured out, that i can omit plenty parts. Since i e.g. 
don't need/use a algorithm driver (all master_xmit messages are basically 
directly forwarded to the device) and since i don't need something like a 
file operations interface the whole thing is quite simple and short.

Hmm, i agree that i2c-usb is probably too generic. But i2c-harbaum-usb isn't 
that beautiful either. Perhaps i2c-avr-usb, since it's based on an avr cpu.

Thanks,
